During the SXSW film festival, in yet another interview, Marvel's The Avengers helmer Joss Whedon discussed the much-anticipated film nearing completion. Talking with MTV News this time around, Whedon dotted on witnessing Oscar-nominated composer Alan Silvestri at work, what he's expecting from audiences, what his Cabin in the Woods director and co-writer thought of the film and more!

"The most satisfying thing about 'The Avengers' is that soon I will finish it," he said with a weary smile. "That's quite an undertaking — although listening to Alan Silvestri conduct an 80-piece orchestra didn't suck. It was a really beautiful experience," he said of watching the composer at work. "He did such a great job: You're listening to live music and watching your movie form in a way that it doesn't until it has that music. That was exciting."

Whedon said he enjoyed "just having all [of the cast]." "When they would be together, the energy that they would give each other, the way they play off each other, the way they protect each other narratively, making sure that whoever they were coming up against had as much juice as they did. It would be easy to imagine that they would be all be like 'me, me, me,' and it was always 'us, us, us,' and that was really fun," he explained. "Except sometimes they would just gossip so much and talk. 'Guys, we're rolling. We have to make a movie. This isn't a party; this isn't the green room.' "

"I want [audiences] to feel exhausted and fulfilled," he shared. "Not unlike 'Cabin,' it's a ride, and we put the screws to them. We really put the characters through it, and we want the audience to be with them every step of the way and come out of it going, 'That was an extraordinary experience, and now I want to pay to see it again.' "

"[Cabin in the Woods director Dred Gaddard] has seen it: He saw the very first assembly," Whedon said. "He was one of the first people I came to and said, 'Where did I go right?' ""Drew's been told he's not allowed to say anything about it," Goddard said with a smile. "But it's awesome."

fun with interviews and all, but yeah, more visual stuff would be nice, feels like the premiere is a loooong time away..Check out my blog http://capmocomics.blogspot.com/ !!! Superhero comics are the topic, and though mostly Marvel, any kind of comics can feature. Take a look, comment, criticize, applaud, whatever comes to mind when reading it!!!Mo

I'm really happy that Marvel used Alan Silvestri to score the avengers. He has an amazing body of work under his belt. One of my favorite things about Captain America TFA was the music. I can't wait to see what he has done with the avengers! Hurry up May 4!

@Intruder, lol. SillyBilly's comment is the definition of trolling. It actually made me laugh cause it was so absurd. Nolanite tried it too but we can all ignore those types of comments, it's for the better.

I'm sure I'm gonna get what I paid for. A lot of action, some good dialogue. I'm waiting for a somebody to talk about the mysterious aliens and say something along the lines of, "They will rape you, burn your flesh and eat you. If we're lucky, they'll do it in that order." Lol. That line gave me chills (Re; Reapers)
